Frequently Asked Questions

This says "Premium Quality" — why does it cost exactly the same as the standard 5-pack?

Because on this listing, the label does not come with a higher price: this Premium 5-pack is $242.37, the identical price to our standard 370QB0KM 5-pack. We are not going to dress that up — you are getting five TK-18 cartridges with the same codes, the same ratings and the same coverage either way, and the word "Premium" in the product name does not add a surcharge here.

Which cartridge numbers should I check against my printer before ordering?

Check for 370QB0KM or TK-18. Those are the two designations for this black cartridge — the part number and the model name — and if your Kyocera Mita machine's supply label lists either one, this is the correct cartridge for it.

Does the Premium label mean a higher page yield?

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. Each cartridge in this pack is rated at 7,200 pages — the same rating as the standard listing. The honest position is that the cartridges in this box carry the same specification; what you are buying is five units at $242.37, not a longer-life variant.

Which machines will these cartridges run in?

Any machine on the TK-18 supply list: the FS-1018MFP, FS-1020D and FS-1118MFP from the FS series, and the KM-1500, KM-1815, KM-1818 and KM-1820 from the KM series. The five individually sealed units can be divided across those models however your printers need them.

What is inside the box?

Five black 370QB0KM cartridges, each sealed in its own packaging. Open them one at a time as machines run low; the sealed spares keep on a shelf, flat and away from heat or sunlight, until they are needed.

Are the warranty and return terms any different on the Premium pack?

No — the label changes nothing in either direction. These cartridges carry the same 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns as our standard listing, with the details on our shipping & returns page, and a faulty unit is covered on its own even months after the pack was opened.

How many pages does the whole Premium box represent?

Five cartridges at 7,200 pages each make 36,000 pages at standard coverage for the box. That is the same arithmetic as the standard pack, because — as this listing states openly — the cartridges carry the same rating either way. Use the 36,000 figure for planning how long the box should last your machines, and expect dense, graphics-heavy pages to bring the real total in below it.

How should I divide five units between busier and quieter machines?

Allocate by volume, not by model loyalty. The machine that prints every day draws from the pack first; quieter desktop units draw only when they actually run low. Since every printer on the TK-18 list takes the same cartridge, no unit needs to be reserved for a specific FS- or KM-series model — the stock follows the work, and the split can change from month to month as your printing does.

Our normal output is dense reports — what does that do to this pack's life?

It shortens every cartridge in it. Pages printed above standard coverage — shaded forms, charts, heavy tables — draw more toner per sheet, so each 370QB0KM finishes below its 7,200-page rating and the shortfall multiplies across five units. If dense output is your norm, plan the next order earlier than text-only arithmetic suggests, and judge the pack's real span by your first cartridge's actual life.

Can I track which machine each cartridge from the pack went into?

Yes, with nothing more than a pen. Note the machine and the date on each box as a unit is fitted, and keep the boxes until the cartridge comes out. Over a few cycles that simple log shows which printer burns through toner fastest, whether one machine consistently gets less from a cartridge than the others, and exactly when each unit entered service — useful information if a question ever comes up about a specific cartridge.
